Advice needed to persuade Google to see my backlinks

Hello everyone,

I am working on promoting my US Immigration Services - Apply for USCIS: Green Card, US Citizenship, US Visas, Forms website.

So far I have:

Posted articles (25+) in dofollow forums with sig links as well as main article links.

I have created 3 blogs of my own which have numerous links to the site's homepage as well as subpages.

I have entered the site into Google Webmaster Tools as well as created and updated a sitemap.xml file.

I have an adwords campaign going with mild spending limits, i.e. $3 per day.

I have created an articles directory on the site with home page articles that rotate weekly (or so) so that we have changing content.

I have purchased a backlinks package through HighQualityBacklinks.com which gave me approx. 150 PR3+ backlinks using our main keywords as anchor text.

My question is this:
What else can I do to get Google to recognize our backlinks and begin to hopefully make the leap to PR1.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

Your search - link: - did not match any documents.




Suggestions:
  • Make sure all words are spelled correctly.
  • Try different keywords.
  • Try more general keywords.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Our organic results are basically non-existant unless you actually search for the name of the website.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. I am willing to spend additional money for progress in this area but I would rather do the work myself.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

  • How long have you been at it?

    • This.

      If you've only been doing this for a month or two, it's not realistic to expect Google to index all of your backlinks. I've had one site up for a year and a half and it has maybe 30% of its total backlinks indexed. That's just the way it goes.
  • Unfortunately, you may never know how many links the search engines have actually indexed. Searching with the link: prefix is inaccurate, as is GWT. Yahoo Site Explorer is a little better, but there is no tool out there that will truly, accurately, give you an up to date list of links that are indexed.

    That said, you can put those links that you have built into an rss feed or ping them to get more or them crawled and indexed. You can also build links to your links, giving them an even better chance of getting seen.

    • Thank you for the replies.

      Jeremy,
      It has only been a few months. I am in no way discouraged as I know it will take time and perseverance.

      James,
      It has only been a few months, I was just curious as to why Google doesn't show any of the links but as Casey states the way I am checking is not very accurate.

      Casey,
      Thank you for the information. I actually do have an RSS feed for all of the current links both through the backlinks service as well as the ones I have created. I have been only using the feed to verify that the links are still active though. I will search around for methods of pinging the links that are in the feed, thanks for the advice. I currently have a link exchange page that I could easily create outgoing links to my incoming links on. I have heard differing opinions on whether this is a good idea though. I will read more.

      Obviously my goal is not actually to see that Google has recognized my backlinks but rather to better my organic search results. I realize that is a huge issue but do you have any additional advice for organic results?

      Thanks,
      Robert

  • Robert,
    Great job taking action.

    A better method of checking for these links is to visit the cached version of the backlink page and see if it is cached with your link in place.

    The "link:" operator rarely returns much.

    However, you should start to see some backlinks in your Webmaster Tools account.

    Are you seeing any links in that report?

    All the best,
    Jack Duncan

    • Thanks for the advice. I'm looking into those right now.
  • You won't see the result instantly because:
    1. regarding the link: command
    > google does not display all of your backlinks in search result [More info]
     2. regarding the pagerank
    > google only update the PageRank a few times a year [More info]

    The , you'll have better luck asking a magic 8 ball how many links you have.

    • Thanks, I often consult the old and wise magic 8 ball
    • Sorry for the delayed response. I have been busy with this damned 8-ball! It keeps saying "Concentrate and ask again".

      Who knows?
  • search up about backlink booster or backlink energizer. Maybe these will help you

    • I will give them a shot, thanks.
  • Make efforts to get your links indexed, such as bookmarking them, combining them into RSS feeds and submitting or pinging the feeds, sending links to your backlinks, etc. You may want to look into Backlink Energizer.
